Apple should give me time to enjoy my iPhone 5 for at least a little bit, before feeling like its out dated.

Apple should give you time to enjoy your phone? Isn't it rather silly to blame Apple? I'm sure they don't like the leaks.

How would they "give you time" anyway? In order to meet the annual new phone release schedule, Apple is very likely in continuous development mode. It takes a lot of engineering, planning, testing, prototype building, and finally a massive build-up of inventory before an iPhone is released.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the 5S was already in development even before the 5 was released.

I don't understand how a picture of the inside of a phone case, which may or may not be for a 5S, could make you feel like your phone is somehow worth less.

This. If you expect Apple to not work on the next iPhone before you enjoyed yours then you are in reality looking at a 2-3 year schedule.

A leak would be definitive proof, not a picture of the inside of an 'iPhone 5S' case. There is no origin, some little kid probably sent them into macRumors, and they published it to get hits. There's a reason no other reputable tech blog posted the supposed 'leak'.

I don't think you have been around the MacRumors community very long. This always happens around this time, it's standard.

Go back to your invaluable, outdated phone.

No that's definitely a leak everyone thinks it is

It's not like I don't want the 5 S and I do plan to buy one but I just wish I had more time to enjoy my 5.

I would just like to have the latest and greatest for longer period of time like 12 months but with leaks of the 5 S it's so hard to enjoy the 5.

I have a friend with the 4 S he said he might wait till the 5 S since its already in production.

They should do it as soon as its reliably possible for the volumes they are looking at. There is no point in holding back technology capabilities from the market - if Apple doesn't do it, someone else will.

Customers who will hold on for two years until their next upgrade eligibility will continue to do so. Anyone who can't resist the urge & rush out to buy the latest - will do it regardless.

Though I too, like so many, would like Apple to wait on their release, due to the 2 years upgrade contracts, in order to at least remain up to speed on the technology game, like mtneer said, it would be wise to release it when it is reliably possible.

Just because you see a piece of black plastic with screws in it that are slightly different than the current model doesn't mean your time with your current phone is being infringed upon. Newsflash: the iPhone 5S will look exactly like the phone you have.

Well it's still a leak bc it's no longer secret and its all over the Internet. Also be careful no insults allowed I won't report you bc I'm not a snitch but I might later.

Dude, relax. It's a free country. Nobody is going to chastise you if you don't upgrade. If you feel insecure about your phone every time a new one is released, you need a self-esteem coach.

People shouldn't be judged by the gadgets they own.

Lol no it's not that I just want the latest. In the past I've said I wouldn't ever need to upgrade but the truth is there is some merit to having the latest.

It's definitely better to where you would want one even if it doesn't seem like it at first. When you use it you're like dang I wish I had this.

Also, no matter what anyone says, it feels great when people are like "Is that the 5 S"

And you're like "Yep sure is

-----------------------

I def see both sides though. I literally thought my 3G was IT. Until the 3G S came out. Then the 4, then Siri on the 4 S. (At first I was like Siri is lame, now I use it regularly!). And now the 5.

I've almost "given up" on believing I won't want the latest iPhone Apple releases bc they're always so good. And always just enough better to where you really do want one.
